There was something SO sinister about this last episode. It left us very confused about Joel... but we are really happy that Ellie is okay! Regardless, this was an S tier show from start to finish, just perfection.
Thank you so so much for being here, it genuinely is mind blowing to us but we have been having such a blast! You all are making this experience 1000 times better!! We hope you stick around and enjoy more shows/movies with us and please leave us suggestions in the comments!

Thanks girls! You're awesome!
And once again Almighty Algorithm rules all . . .
Well, thereâs my excuse to afford the PatreonâŠ
That's interesting - all other reaction videos I see include some chat afterwards.
I look forward to discussing the game! :D
The tragedy of it all is that Ellie wasn't asked because Marlene couldn't risk the chance that she'd say no and Joel couldn't risk the chance that she'd say yes.
When Joel initiated the rescue attempt I don't believe he was even thinking of what Ellie might have chosen. All he knew was she was about to be murdered and hadn't been given any choice at all. So to begin with at least, he's morally in the right I think.
And by the time he was standing in front of Marlene, the surgeon was already dead along with most of the Fireflies. I think he'd gone beyond the point of no return. It's hard to say how much of his decision to kill Marlene was him simply not being able to lose a 2nd daughter versus him actually weighing up objectively whether the Fireflies were even capable of distributing a cure.
Meaning giving Ellie up would depend on Joel having absolute faith in the people doing it, which clearly wasn't the case with the Fireflies, who came across as incompetent. So in that sense, there is an argument that Joel does actually feel it's for the best regardless of how he personally feels about Ellie. It's like a double reason to kill Marlene to stop her hunting Ellie.
@@MrPicklerwoof This is simply not true. Joel was just as convinced as Marlene that Ellie would bring the cure. He was convinced of it at the campfire and here in the hospital as well. Marlene was just supposed to "find someone else". Those were his only words to this topic. If it had been up to him, another child could have been killed.
No one in the series has ever doubted that it is possible to make the cure. People like to invent new storylines to somehow justify Joel's actions.
@@MrPicklerwoof No part of what Joel did here was rational. This was all sheer panic induced by parental love.
@@Tantalus010 Isn't it rational to preserve one's own sanity? That would probably have gone down the drain if he had decided to rescue her.
â@@Tantalus010I'm a father of a daughter, and I think what Joel did was rational. Ellie wasn't given a choice. Joel wasn't about to lose someone he'd come to think of as a daughter. Any grown man worth his salt would have done, or at least attempted, the same thing. It is completely rational to use anything available within your skillset to inflict brutal violence on anyone who harms or threatens to harm someone you love. The only thing he did I disagree with is lying to Ellie about it. I'd rather the person I care about hate me because I was honest than hate me because I lied.
``she kind sounds like ellie`` BECAUSE SHE IS ELLIE đ
Yup! The game's main characters all make an appearance in the show, except Tess (I think) because she recently died due to cancer unfortunately.
Ellie's mom is Ellie
David's right-hand man from episode 8 is Joel
Kathleen's right-hand man from episode 4 and 5 is Tommy
I was coming to put this commentary hahahahaha SHE IS ELLIE FUCKING WILLIAMS AKA ELLIE FROM THE GAMES. That's why she sounds like Ellie because she has being Ellie for ten years now đâ€
Credit to how good casting for show Ellie was lol. The two actors both look and sound alike.
â@@ozzynator456Marlene is also played by her actual VA from the game
And Laura Bailey who voices Abby in TLoU PtII was one of the nurses in the operating room.
Which...is kinda messed up in its own unique way.
The lady who play Ellie's mother Anna, her name is Ashley Johnson. She's the voice actress and motion capture for Ellie in the video games. That's why they sound alike.
In other words, Ellie just gave birth to herself.
And James in the last episode is played by Troy Baker, who plays Joel in the game too! I had to laugh when I realised that Ellie killed Joel, there.đ
Everyone knows this already
@@kieronroberts4977these reactors obviously didnâtâŠ
and it's amazing how much they look alike
Ashley gave birth to her figuratively and then later, literally. On the podcast, she was asked what it meant to her to do that, and she started to answer, and stopped. Started to answer, then said, "Hold on." She tried to talk about it, but was too emotional to make a sound. Eventually, Troy Baker and Neil Druckman stepped in and answered for her.
Joel's entire life post-outbreak has led up to this moment and it's just so brutal and cold but still very human. The game and show creators spoke about how they wanted to really focus on unconditional love and what beautiful and terrible things that can lead to. Joel finds purpose and joy in his life again but also his fierce love for Ellie and what he'd do to keep it may have literally doomed humanity while also massacring so many people. Fun little fact, in game testing the first game they found that 100% of parents would've made the same decision as Joel to save Ellie.
Yes, while non-parents were split 50/50 on whether Joel did the right thing or not, parents were 100% "that's it, Joel, KILL THEM ALL!!" And I'm guessing some of those conflicted non-parents are now parents and have moved firmly into Joel's camp. If it's your child or the world, the world gets the losing end every time.
i asked my co worker who has kids what he felt about joelâs choice and he said he was mad at him because "so because you canât lose this kid my children have to die?" and thatâs the only parent iâve ever talked to who didnt identify with joel.
@@sgtmian I am a parent and while I fully understand Joel's choices (I might even make the same ones in his shoes) they are unquestionably morally wrong. The man straight up murdered at least a dozen people (they were someone's children too) to "save" Ellie and potentially doomed the entire world's population to an unending losing battle with cordyceps for his own unquestionably selfish reasons. Millions will probably die horribly as a result of his actions. He didn't do it to save Ellie or protect her - he knows she would have chosen to die - he did it because HE didn't want to lose her. One could even question whether he truly even loves Ellie or whether his inability/unwillingness to process his grief over the loss of his child has resulted in him developing this attachment to Ellie merely as an avatar for his own kid. I struggle to see much moral distinction between Joel's actions and Kathleen's (both are murdering people for personal emotional reasons) and most viewers seem to have little difficulty identifying Kathleen's actions as immoral.
People like to blame Marlene here and while her decision not to tell Ellie is morally wrong she is at least motivated by a sincere desire to benefit all of humanity, rather than her own emotional needs. Imagine that this show was told entirely from Marlene's perspective and we spent 9 episodes following her and the fireflies as they try to liberate humanity only to be massacred by the mercenary they hired over a girl he has only known for like a year. I think most people would feel drastically differently about Joel's actions in that scenario.
@@mst3KGf I'd respect what my child would want to do as I'd hope my own mother would.
Joel wasn't ready for Sarah. He's been preparing 20 years for this moment. "And God help any motherfucker who gets in your way".
I guess God was busy that day. Cuz all of those mother-f-ers are dead. lol
Bill docet.
You two are the best! I loved every second of this journey. đ
00:51 "She kinda sounds like Ellie". OMG That's so perfect!! lol
These two young women gave us one of the most honest and thoughtful TLOU reactions of the hundreds delivered here. And at the end they were true to the love of oneâs child versus the fate of the world dilemma Joelâs actions forced us to face. This episodeâs reaction like every one of this series was great!
I've yet to see a reaction that is not on team Joel though.
@@sbj2k1 Those who are Team Joel basically would sacrifice humanity's salvation just to save one person. I don't see the logic in that.
â@@dwnkaomwn3953because it's realistic. We're selfish creatures after all.
â@@dwnkaomwn3953no, it's not logical but it's realistic. People are selfish, and Joel has proven himself very selfish throughout this series. Starting from the first episode where he, Tommy, and Sarah were driving out of town on the highway. They saw that family stranded on the side of the road and Tommy and Sarah want him to pull over and help. Joel refused, saying that someone else would come along. Remember the first words he said after Marlene explained what they would have to do, "find someone else". He has no problem with the ethics of the procedure, he just doesn't want it to be his adopted daughter. I think of it like this, Marlene did the wrong thing for the right reasons, and Joel did the right thing for selfish reasons, since Marlene violated Ellies bodily autonomy by not being truthful with her.
@@matthewsteinmetz729 and @cullenarthur8879 Well, Marlene isn't one of those selfish human beings who put herself ahead of humanity's future. She was willing to break her late friend's(Anna) promise to take care of her daughter(Ellie) for the sake of the cure that could save the human race. Joel, as he just did in that QZ, was willing to kill everyone there to save Ellie, even if it meant keeping the world as a hell on Earth. I can understand Joel's parental attachment toward Ellie, but the cost of Joel did was unacceptably high.
I just felt so empty when i first finished the game, 10 years later, the show made me feel the same way, a masterpiece of an adptation!
It's ok. They dropped the ball on many key scenes.
I sat motionless for a considerable time after both game and adaptation. The beauty is being able to do both again and again.
Me too @@Alfofthyefax. I remember finishing almost the entire second half of the game in one sitting, looking at the menu screen after the game had ended and listening to the music again. I stayed like that for a good 5 minutes just trying to process it all. Once I came out of it I decided it had to be my favorite video game.
When you asked "Is Joel the bad guy??", congratulations, you are now a part of the debate that has been raging since the game came out in 2013. Enjoy! đ
I like how the story is a lot more complex than that though, it kinda points away from the good/bad guy dichotemy and forces you to look at humans as just that, as opposed to either a monster or a hero like most modern storytelling.
Joel is not bad. Joel is LIke Bill. Bill is bad? NO. Bill is ""Protect Tess like I protected Frank. And God help any motherfucker who gets in your way". Bill docet
What did Tess say to Joel? âSave who you can save.â
Joel would be a passenger on a âcureâ train. Even if it worked heâd have nothing to do with it. If it didnât work heâd be a spectator on the death of the only person who gave meaning to his life anymore.
He decided to save who he could save.
@@19dario73 I think that depends on where you fall. I'm not the type to "survive by any means". I don't want to live with the burden of having killed a bunch of people and robbing humanity of a cure for anyone, even my child. And I would hope anyone I love would choose to sacrifice me if that were the stakes.
Was David a bad guy? He seemed like a survive by any means type.
for me Joel is far from "bad"-Ellie became a daughter to him, I would do the same things he did,if I would be able
Joel's warm smile watching Ellie giggling over the giraffe is everything. He loves her so much at this point.
"I don't know what to think" is the PERFECT REACTION to the end of this amazing adaptation. Well Done U 2 on an awesome Roller Coaster Ride of Reactions đđ
Carissa called it. Cordyceps growing in the brain and Joel going John Wick mode. đđđ
The irony is, that current science shows that the brain is the one place it DOESN'T grow into. It grows around it, and isolates it. Knowing that makes Sam's question even more heartbreaking, because infected are very likely still "there", they just have no control of their bodies.
@@thecommonloon I think the game had several stages of infection before the person was considered "gone", and that was probably an example.
The whole science of how they were going to operate on Ellie in both the game and the show was so messed up, there was no chance that it would succeed. That's one thing Pedro's performance in this episode. You can see him react each time Marlene says the wrong thing. Not giving Ellie the choice, not letting her see Joel, and when she says "our doctor THINKS there's a chance", when that chance is something slightly above zero when you see how they're doing it.
So glad yâall picked up on Joelâs âvillainâ arc. If you think about it, from the worlds view, Joel is the selfish bad guy who dooms the worlds only hope for survival, but in the Joelâs story heâs the hero who saves his daughter and gets a second chance at redemption.
It's worderful because Joel did what every one of us would have do. If I have to condemn humanity for a person I love, I would do it without thinking
You certainly wouldn't have had to suck the whole mushroom out of Ellie's brain. If you had put in a little effort you would probably have come up with a gentler option. They could also have carried out animal testing: simply infect and raise test animals shortly before birth. Furthermore, one cannot say with certainty that they have found the cure. nothing is certain in experimental science. There are probably hundreds of failed attempts before success occurs. But what was certain was Ellie's death.
First of all, there is no guarantee of a cure. They were going to kill her, but without knowing if it was going to work. Joel was selfish from what he did? Maybe yes. But is hard to judge from our perspective. The world took everything from him once, and it was about to happen again. I could have done the same, if I was him.
Tess said it from the beginning: "Joel and I aren't good people. We're doing this for us."
When ellie came in to his heart, he was no longer doing it for himself, he did it all for ellie whether she like it or notâŠno one wants to see their baby girl die. Call it selfish or not, he did it for her and himself, not just himself as people like to say it.
@@jayjay-hm4ns in his world she is his second daughter. And for a father the whole world can burn if only his daughter is doing well. blood comes before everything else.
If these two don't get Emmys for their performances, I'll be very disappointed.
And if Pedro and Bella could get Emmys too, that would be a bonus... đ
LOL đ
You had us in the first half.
But really, they definitely each deserve it!
I don't think they were performing. Instead of Emmys perhaps a therapy session or two?
it's already been announced. 24 emmy nominations including best actor and actress. they probably won't win though.
â@@jaivesnah tlou will sweep the Emmys... in their category.. wednesday has all yhe same categories but under the umbrella of comedy...some how đ€Ł I'd want em all yo win everything tbh.. wednesday was imo a truly generational experience â€
@@martinmillar7137 i saw the nominations. Succession will be the one to sweep (27 nominations). Pedro is against Jeff Bridges, Bob Odenkirk, and three Succession actors. Bella is the youngest nom in lead actress. What they'll most probably win in the acting category is guest actor. They have four noms: Nick Offerman/Murray Bartlett for Ep 3, and Lamarr Johnson/Keivonn Woodard for Ep 4-5.
You two quickly became some of my favorite reactors.
The story about not liking mushrooms and then being burned by a pan of mushrooms and now you like themâŠthat is just in my head now.
What a fun journey, looking forward to more.
I love the variety of watching live action and anime on their channel. And all the shows so far have been heat
The HBOâs adaptation of TLoU introduced me to CZcams reaction videos. Iâve been obsessed.. Iâve watched dozens and like most.. but Haylo & Kiss are hands-down my favorite. Sad Season 1 (for you two) is over.
Bravo. Iâll be watching more vids..
Ellie's mom was played by Ellie's actor from the game, Ashley Johnson
I love how you were like "Wait is this Ellie??" because you're not wrong. It is Ellie - the real, original Ellie from the game. Ashley Johnson.
Having her in the adaption is so meaningful in so many ways, I could write an entire essay about it. But to keep it relatively short: Ellie was created by the writer of the game, yes, but also by Ashley Johnson. Ellie has Ashley's dreams (becoming an astronaut), her dry sense of humor, her interests (Ashley has a knife collection lol, loves comics and video games and is very good with a bow), etc etc.
Ashley herself has said numerous times that the only difference between her and the character are the circumstances they grew up in. Ashley was also the one who chose Bella Ramsey as Ellie in the adaptation. And since Ellie's mom never appeared in the game, except for one letter that Ellie has, there is no other face that we associate with her. So this really feels like a scene in which Ashley hands the mantle of playing Ellie down to Bella.
You can imagine how emotional gamers were when we saw the beginning of the episode, especially because most people immediately recognize Ashley Johnson by her iconic voice that we've listened so many hours to. And how emotional it must have been for the cast as well.
I'm pretty sure Ashley didn't choose Bella. Just felt strongly that Bella was Ellie after they first met.
@@MissingNo_ they mentioned it in the podcast somewhere, of course sheâs not the only one who has a say but she did choose her
@@canniloni Its more like Ashley gave her endorsement or seal of approval after Bella was already casted.
@@MissingNo_true, but if she hadnât iâm not sure they would have picked bella. neil said he would be heartbroken if ashley didnt love who they picked, because so much of who ellie is comes from her
Yes dawg I cried
I love that you two are like the two voices I had in my head while I was watching, one saying "save ellie by any means" and the other saying "Yes, but at what cost?"
You are wearing black and white aswell, Ying and Yang lol
Watching the last sequence again after the May 1st stream of tlou, fantastic
I was SOOOOO conflicted by this episode that I couldnât watch anything for a week. Just wow. This show makes u think and feel so MUCH. đđŸ. Even rewatching with you, all my conflict comes back. Why did you LIiiiiiIiiiEeEeee Joel?! đ«. Canât wait for Season 2.
@chadbailey7038 - my take, from the other response (sorry to repeat a small part of the same response, but I hope Haylo & Kiss let me keep it):
"I would side with Joel 100%. Unless you are just another person sitting behing your keyboard, and being driven by some "emotions" of civilian life, lack of empathy and so on. Most people would do the same. Some wouldn't because they would think about some "greater" good.
As a former military engineer/medic, who also has been working and living in over 20+ countries and seen enough crap (also considering the whole relationship between Ellie and Joel, and their past experiences) = yeah, I would do the same, and I would have no remorse regarding it. I wouldn't like it, but I would stil do it.
I would also lie to Ellie at this particular point in the story. Why? Look deeper into yourself. And I would also known that this was wrong. But still would do it, at this point in her life. Because at this point it was about her, and she wasn't ready to bear that knowledge. Not just yet. And definitely I would tell her the truth sometimes later (when the moment is right, not that emotional, or when she is older), and then deal with the consequences of my lie.
But at the end... I have the feeling that Ellie knows/suspects that Joel is lying. But she is letting that go, for the moment, in this particular moment of time. "
To be fair the story of the second part already came out. Let's just say that violence brings about more violence. And it won't stop until we decide to. But how can we?
This was by far one of my favourite times watching a reaction channel.
I thought about watching TLOU again for the 5th time, but I thought why not watch someone else watch it.
Kiss is a walking/talking intrusive thought.
The âmy forehead hurtsâ every time she started getting upset.
Naming the horse biscuit and the look in the camera from âHayloâ this was incredible. I have subscribed.
I hope Joel's actions has no consequences in the future!
Nahhh.. It'll be fine. đ
â@@maxmollerđ« đ
Suuuure.....
A common overlooked detail in the show and the game is that the doctor he killed was roughly somewhere in his 30's early 40's so when the outbreak happened 20 years earlier he was anywhere from about 15 - 25. His knowledge if any was nowhere near the necessary levels to be a brain surgeon. The operation would have for sure killed Ellie, with no guarantee that the cure would've been successful.
I was thrilled when I first saw this episode. Was glad they got to be brought in at least from scenes on the show.
Great reaction! Joel was so traumatised by Sarah and then connecting with Ellie he did everything to protect her. The muffled gunshots and distant screaming you mentioned in the reaction was Joel Disassociating from what he was doing. He lied to her cus in his head it kept her safe
Such a great story! You guys have the perfect reactions to it, realy great to see
I loved that flashback with Ashley(game ellie)playing ellies mom. Being a father it always gets me emotional seeing those little baby hands and cries
"Is Joel the bad guy?"
"I'm scared of Joel right now"
I totally understand you. Him going through all the people in that hospital was horrible but I can understand up to a point. Not just as a viewer but as someone who's basically a parent to my siblings. But him lying to Ellie because part of him knows that Ellie would have gone through with the surgery was uncomfortable to watch and it made me wary of Joel bc for me the lie was more selfish than him killing everyone to save Ellie.
Marlene lied also to Ellie and didnt tell her anytjing. Marlene sucks.
Joel is the bad guy. He could have saved the world and instead he killed the people that could, minus Ellie.
@@bvbxiong5791 As Henry said he's the bad guy cause he did a bad guy thing. But that wasn't my point, my point was as an audience I was more understanding of his decision to murder people than him lying to Ellie because to me he was more aware of that decision in contrast to his disassociation when he was on a rampage.
I'll say this about Joel's lie to Ellie: I'm not convinced he did it for entirely selfish reasons. Yes, it's likely Ellie would resent Joel if she knew the truth, but there is another issue at play: from that last scene between the two, it's clear to me that Ellie has some pretty major survivor's guilt. Thanks to her immunity, she has survived situations that her friends did not. As such, she needed this cure business to work to make her feel like their deaths weren't in vain.
I think this is partly why Joel lied: if she knew that Joel doomed humanity's best shot at survival so that Ellie could live, it would likely destroy her mental health. If she believes Joel's lie, she's not weighed down with the feeling of guilt that people were sacrificed for her to live her life.
@@UnusedIcon Strongly agree. The lie was more about protecting Ellie than for selfish reasons. The fact that he even says "there's a whole lot more like you" is to relieve the survivors guilt that she's the only cure.
It's like Maria said in episode 6, "The only ones who can betray us, are the ones we trust"
We knew this had to come back at some point!!
Which is common sense lol
If you've watched or played the last of us 2. You know what's coming next
It was great watching yalls rollercoaster throughout the season. This ending ha been debated with me and my friends for over a decade so welcome to the conversation. The second game wasn't any easier emotionally so get ready to laugh and cry alot more once season 2 comes out
I still remember my first playthrough when we got to the giraffe scene. Your reaction was exactly what i experienced then and what i experienced again when watching the show. I can't wait for season 2 and hopefully you both will watch with us again. Thank you!
I love all the little details throughout the series. Everytime Joel makes something up to tell Ellie and she decides to go along with it her response is "okay".
The best moments about the finale is that Ashley Johnson gives birth to Ellie, which is really poetic, and the reason for it is that Ashley Johnson herself originally provided the voice role of Ellie in both games, and the hospital scene reminded me a lot of the ending of the first game. And most of all, Laura Bailey had a secret cameo in the operating room scene because she had contributed her time in the first game as one of the nurses.
"I'll follow you anywhere you go" and "It wasn't time that did it" both absolutely destroyed me.
Regarding the ending I once read "The world took Joel's daughter so he took their cure." Hurt people hurt people.
That's an interesting take on it. I do think it was a very deliberate choice to have Sarah killed by a human, a soldier no less. And not by the infected.
So in the game you can find notes that the Fireflies have tried this before and failed, so Joel going all Rambo and killing them all to save Ellie makes more sense. It's not really addressed in the show other than in episode 2 when Joel says something about that he's heard this all before and it never works.
But they tried with people there are not immune i presume.
They have tried to find a cure before, they have never had a person that actually already had immunity, which makes this much different
â@@rafaelnussi2001It specifically says they were infected.
Joel absolutely believes they could make a cure. They even set it up more explicitly in the show, in ep 6 he says "If she says they can do it, they can do it".
He made the choice to take the cure away from humanity to save Ellie. That's the only thing that matters.
The show is setting up Joel for his role in the second game (I don't want to spoil it but if you know, you know).
The continued retconns though just keep getting dumber...
1. In the game, it's a vaccine, not a cure. To 'cure' an infected, you'd have to weed out all the fungus that has replaced most of their bodily tissue, an impossibility even if you could get close enough to give them the shot... Never mind manufacturing and distribution. The game at least kept it grounded in something that might be achievable, a vaccine that could prevent infection due to exposure to spores etc.
2. Joel's death march through the hospital was against far greater odds in the game. You are constantly outnumbered and desperately fighting rather than murdering helpless guards. They also left out the bit where he flees to the elevator getting shot at the whole way carrying Ellie the same way he carried Sarah. Executioner vs desperate father, but we know how Druckman want's him portrayed.
3. In the game, prior to the remaster, you immediately know that Ellie know's Joel is lying, but forgives him because she knows how much it cost him to open up after losing Sarah. How it would be impossible for him to give her up. Remember that Ellie's greatest fear was being abandoned (the 'just be more scared' conversation in Jackson), not that she wouldn't make a difference. In the show, she's much more in line with Ellie in TLOU2 who will despise Joel for what he's done. No empathy or acceptance, just more revenge plots.
4. Joel's non existent suicide retconn... Goes with his non-existent panic attacks/anxiety and other BS they added to the show to make him weak. The point of Joel being a monster of a man was that Ellie relied on him completely, which in turn makes her actions when he was wounded even more heroic. In the show, people constantly compliment her over how awesome she is so you don't honestly think much about her taking over while Joel is laid up. Similarly, the 'more scared' speech in the show comes off completely lame because she's so good at everything... X D
I kinda wish the ladies had played the game first so they could at least experience it properly...
I was so looking forward to this đâ€
I very randomly got the urge to revisit this story through reactions. I saw most of the reactions that happened when the show came out so I was looking for a more recent one and up you two popped. I laughed! I cried! Great job. You two play off each other perfectly. The real sister energy is incredible.
You two are great reactors đ The end of the game was very conflicting too, the games and the series exist in the shades of grey that encapsulate most of our lives.
Hi guys, I just binged all your reaction videos for this and absolutely loved it - your dynamic is so good, really funny but also really emotional which is exactly what you want for good reaction content - I got to re-experience the series by watching this so it was really a tour de force. I also loved how much you both picked up on - linking details back to prior references in the series and making good predictions based on what was shown to the viewer- including some stuff i didnât get until a second watch-through! i mean you guys got every single detail!
I would absolutely love it if you guys considered doing a reaction series to the cinematic playthrough of The Last of Us Part II (which is on CZcams) - because the story is so faithful to the original source material that Part II really does feel like a natural continuation with characters you are already attached to. Of course it might be too long to react to the entire thing but Iâm sure there would be a way of doing it and you wouldnât have to wait so long for the next season. Even if you just did the first 4 hours of the video game I guarantee it would be a very popular video since the opening section of that game is so iconic.
If youâre not interested in reacting to the video game, then please, for the love of god do everything in your power to avoid spoilers because I want to get the chance to watch your immediate reactions to the story in Part II (as one of my all time favourite pieces of media storytelling) when the second season comes out! Donât engage with ANY discussion or search online about last of us - just go in 100% blind because that is the ultimate experience, the writing in Part II is just incredible!
Anyways, thanks so much for the series - Iâve subscribed and canât wait to check out more of your content - I think you also did Haunting of Hill House which is another one of my favourites! Bly Manor is a great one too if youâre looking for reaction content.
ashley johnson is đ„
another great episode, thank you both so much, really enjoyed watching this series again to see your reactions
You finally got there ladies but worth the wait. Excellent reaction throughout the series and kudos to your editor. great job.
Iâm giddy with anticipation!
Letâs get into it.
Joel killed Marlen for another reason.. Joel decades earlier had worked out the math of getting a working self sustaining city size(100-000) population back and the same for the world he knew the death/infected rate/speed was to extreme for it to happen so just let it be as is...
In that world I`d be set on problem solving...
Tire rot what to use as a replacement for rubber - multi layers of leather with serviving parts of tires attached for tread...

This is probably the best adaptation that's ever been on TV.. The actors, Representation of the original games are stellar. There's so many things i would love to say but i cant so ill wait till yall either play the games which are amazing and fantastic content on its own or wait till season 2. Thank you for the reactions to one of my favorite mediums of all time, one love.
the reason why that girl at the start sounded like ellie a bit was because she played the original ellie in the last of us games, speaking of you guys should really try out the games!
Meaning that Bella Ramsey is the greatest cast of all time
@@ryanquinn5884 ehh ill have to disagree, i felt more of ellies emotion in game than the show, could be facial features or could just be the fact they weren't allowed to look at the game so her representation of ellie is different, but the characters were vastly different in show to in game.
I think for season two you guys should talk a little bit about what happened in the episodes I think itâll be interesting to get your initial reactions
Always good to watch someone see this scene for the first time, without prior knowledge of the game. It hits every time.
17:06 This is a great question!
guys plz consider more reactions we love them. im not the biggest anime enjoyer so having you guys react to regular shows is amazing
The moment with the giraffe is so magical in the game. Because after going through everything, itâs like a moment of peace and beauty before reentering the reality of the broken world.
I happened to stumble onto your channel by accident yesterday (August 16) and I loved your style so much I binged the entire playlist in one night. Please keep reacting!
From the UK. I am a massive fan of this fantastic game, it's story, and this wonderful adaptation to a TV series which does the original story superb justice. I have watched far too many of the reaction vids available on YT, due to my addiction to the story. You two have been brilliant, I don't need post episode comments from you both because your heartfelt reactions and comments during the episodes say it all. Well done to both of you and good luck with the rest of your reaction vids and whatever you guys do with your futures. Thanks for the reactions, looking forward to series 2 and your reaction vids đ
6:32 nice little game reference i appreciated
After the season had finished, I came across The Last of Us podcast for the series and listened through it because I was not ready for it to be over. Each podcast episode was done after each episode during the season. One of the people in the podcast was Troy Baker. In the game he is the original voice actor for Joel. He was also in the last episode and Ellie killed him before she killed David. The start of this episode featured Ashley Johnson who voiced Ellie in the game. I'm sure you two have already been told about Troy last week and Ashley earlier today.
Ashley was a special guest in the podcast finale and Troy was a part of the whole series. Their thoughts on the finale's final talk with Ellie and Joel is very very interesting. If you two have some spare time I think you should check out the podcast for the entire season and it'll give you extra hints about each episode.
So what's next?
I know I have mentioned/recommended this earlier and I will always stand by it. I hope you two will watch and react to the series Firefly and it's ending movie, Serenity. The season is 14 episodes long and I would watch them in order. There's confusion about which episode was supposed to come before another and it's all jumbled up. Go in order of 1-14
Take care of yourselves, H & K
loved your reaction - you don't talk over what's happening and just let the scenes breath. you hit all the emotional notes of the story
Just watched all 9 of your reaction videos to the series in one sitting. Currently typing this at almost 5 in the morning as a result đ love your reactions from start to finish. You guys paid so much attention and caught so many details and tie-ins throughout the show that I felt proud at times. As someone who is a HUGE fan of both games and of coursed loved the show as well, please avoid having ANYTHING spoiled that lies ahead. Personally Iâd just recommend playing the second game if you donât wanna wait multiple years to find out what happens next but I also understand if gaming isnât your guysâ thing and/or you wanna go into future seasons of the show with no knowledge of whatâs to come. Either way youâre in for a treat! I subscribed to the channel as well and look forward to more content in the future!
This will go down as my all time fav watch alongs...ever... i already watched it before i found this channel.. i wanted to explore it via a blind reaction and you two delivered.. absolutely brilliant... I experienced it again in deeper ways.. thanks to you two â€... Glad now we can all breathe lol toll on season 2 đđđ ooof
Btw joel cena hospital scene is the best scene ever shot in tv history...it was Powerful haunting... Poetic... Beautiful even... Stunning stunning scene...
Remarkable! I have really enjoyed watching each episode... nice perspective... happy trails
Iâm sad too. đą I love watching this with you two. The best reactions!
Welcome to the sweet affliction of The Last of Us. I remember feeling what you're feeling when I finished the game and discovered that Joel could possibly be a secret antagonist. Can't wait for your reaction for season 2
Iâve really enjoyed your reactions; you both are right on top of all the subtleties that made this show/story so good.
Looking forward to season 2 đ
Please please make a review video on the whole season! I've watch alot of reaction videos on the last of us and it was just awesome seeing yals reactions. Yal definitely have to play the game!
This finale began with a lie and ends with a lie. Both were done out of love. One was selfless, the other selfish. One served to protect Ellie, the other to maintain a relationship whose trust was destroyed in order to be able to continue to be a father to his new Sarah.
Just my opinion and it's a long one. No one has to see it the same way. But I'm on Ellie's side even though I love Joel. However, many see and use Ellie's site only to the extent that it justifies Joel's actions.
Maria said to Ellie: "Be careful who you put your faith in. The only people who can betray us are the one we trust."
And that's exactly what Joel is doing here. Any parent would at least try the same and so would I (but I wouldn't have lied and I would bear the consequences). But Joel is not Ellie's father. He only considers himself to be so, but this is not based on reciprocity. For Ellie, Joel is her only friend and protector, but at eye level. And neither of them would change that. Ellie wouldn't limit her autonomy and independence and Joel wouldn't expect that from her. And then there would no longer be a relationship on the same level. In this respect, they have never called their relationship as father and daughter. Ellie also doesn't seem to like the fact that Joel constantly compares her to his daughter. This clearly comes through in addition to her depression. One really wait for the sentence from her "I'm not her, you know?". Ellie is like a replacement.
In this respect, he never has the right to do what he has done, NOR DOES MARLENE. But both know the answer Ellie would give. Why did Joel lie to Ellie in the end? Because he actually knew better and still acted out of selfishness. Marlene, on the other hand, did not tell Ellie what they would do with her so as not to scare her unnecessarily. Marlene doesn't need Ellie's consent either, she would do it against Ellie's will for the world. Therefore, the argument that many bring that Marlene would be afraid Ellie would say "no" is nonsens. This is not decisive for her. Marlene is simply doing the same thing as the Fedra officer in episode 1 did with the infected boy. She also says this in this sense. We didn't tell her anything, she won't be feel fear.
Marlene has another thing in common with Ellie. Ellie had to kill her girlfriend and for her it must all have some value. The same goes for Marlene. She had to kill her best friend and for both applies it must not have been in vain. Both lost their friends to the fungus, both had to end their lives. In addition, Marlene had conversations with Ellie in episode 1 and here before the operation again.
So yes, Marlene is properly the only one who understands Ellie very well and she knows what Ellie would have wanted. Joel knows that too.
An important difference to the game is the feeling you had when you freed Ellie. In the game, on the way to Ellie, you felt like a hero saving your daughter. Here in the series it becomes clear that Joel is not a hero. Supported by the score. Joel is the one who wipes everyone out and extinguishes the hope of saving humanity. People who all just defended themselves here. Joel has not been attacked. He is the aggressor.
I think it's good how this is presented here. How Joel is shown as he was for 20 years. Ruthless, unscrupulous, cold-blooded. And if for 20 years he had the reason to be like this so that his brother and Tess could survive, this is now replaced by selfishness. He has rolled through the hospital like a bulldozer. And that Ellie would have wanted this operation is not a question, after what she experienced and had to do. This was her chosen destiny after losing so many people to the fungus. She made a decision on the day Marlene told her about her imunity. Reinforced by the deaths of Riley and all after her. With the giraffes, she reaffirmed that she wants to bring this to an end. The first and only decision Ellie could ever make about her life. So far, others have always been determined over her live. Joel took that away from her. And not only that, he took away everything she fought for and what she went through. 3 weeks after Riley's death, which she had to cause, Marlene has given her a meaning that could have saved all humanity. Joel gave her a life with survivor guilt multiplied by all humanity. She has to live with the fact that all the people who died for her and will die in the future, died for nothing. Her mother, Riley, Sam and Henry, and if she finds out the truth one day, she will blame herself for the hospital carnage and Marlene's death. All died for her or because of her and all in vain.
The argument (and justification for Joel's actions) over and over again that Ellie was given no choice is not one either. Since this was never motivation for Joel or Marlene. Joel didn't free her because she had no choice. He did it because he didn't want to lose her.
The argument Ellie is still a child and cannot make this decision is nonsense. Ellie hasn't been a child in her head for a long time. She lives in a world where you grow up quickly. She killed, saved lives, injured people, was almost r*p*d and chopped up. She has made mature decisions several times. The last of these was to stand against Joel and go on with a very grown-up reason. She is the only one who can and should make this decision about her life.
Nobody needs to come with the reason that it was not certain that the operation would succeed and that a cure could be produced. Everyone involved believed in it, including Joel. The motives of the characters counts. People like to invent ways that the show or game didn't bring in to justify Joel's actions. In fact, the only thing Joel said was "find someone else". So if it were up to him, another child could die instead of Ellie. Joel has accepted that Ellie brings the cure to the world as a fact. And even if there were other immunes out there, Joel also killed probably the only brain surgeon with that kind of knowledge who could have done such an operation. That was a decision he was not allowed to make for Ellie. No matter if he feels that way, he is not her father. And because Joel knows all this, he ends up lying to Ellie.
And Ellie already knows at the moment that he is lying, when she asks if Marlene is ok and he says nothing. She got the same answer when she asked if Joel had killed innocent people. He lies so that he can continue to be her Daddy without consequences for himself. So he takes another decision away from Ellie. Namely, whether she still wants to continue to be connected to him amicably, trustingly.
How the conversation between Joel and Ellie would have gone if one had taken place before the operation can be seen very clearly at the end of the episode.
When Ellie wants to say him for the first time how she feels, why she wanted to do this and for whom, he interrupted her, bombards her with platitudes. He wouldn't listen, but would free her anyway and then make up lies and gives her advices that he himself has not followed.
He interrupts her so that he does not have to listen any further, so that he can continue to justify his act for himself. She, on the other hand, can't have all his bullshit since the car anymore and finally interrupts him and makes him swear.
Ellie's bullshit detector is unbearable. Nevertheless, she chooses him over his lies. He means the world to her and all she has is him. Her greatest fear of ending up alone certainly plays a role. They love each other and would do anything for each other. Or it is rather dependency. In any case, the long-built trust is now gone.
I would like to point out a very interesting conversation that took place in the pilot episode between Tommy, Joel and Sarah. This was about love and dependence.
Tommy comes into the kitchen and greets Joel and Sarah with a not so nice word.
Sarah to Joel: "Oooh, he loves you"
Joel: "He is dependent on me. It's not the same."
Sarah: "I think it's the same"
I think this conversation is very interesting in connection with the dynamic between Joel and Ellie.
To what extent is this love.
To what extent is it dependence.
To what extent do the two things go together?
And are Joel and Ellie even on the same page when it comes to that? Or confuse both love with dependence.
I also find the conversation between Joel and Ellie questionable in which he tells her that he wanted to kill himself. The conversation itself was okay, but I don't think it's okay to tell her that she's the reason he sees life positively again. He puts even more pressure on Ellie. He made himself dependent on her existence and let her know that.
That's not right. She now constantly has in her head how he will feel when she is away.
Well, the authors of the game had not thought of a continuation of the game at that time. That's the advantage of the series. They can prepare much better for the upcoming season and thus make everything that comes in part 2 more comprehensible for everyone.
This was an excellent but unfortunately much too short episode. The whole series was just great. I'm looking forward to the second season.
Ellie not only has the knife from her mother, but also the jacket she lay in as a baby.
The giraffe was real. Her name is Nabo or Nobu. Something like that.
Ashley Johnson was Ellie's mother here. Quite poetic when Ellie gives birth to Ellie and both look similar.
Laura Bailey the voice actor of Abby from TLOU2 was one of the assistant doctors.
I've played both games together 20 times and I love them. I love this series. The best I've seen in a long time. I love Joel and Ellie. I feel the need to play again now with the knowledge of what is now added by the series.
WOW thank you for taking the time to type this up! Great stuff in here!!
Yo this summarizes how I feel about this series so perfectly! I think that people empathize with Joel so much that they forget how selfish he is at his core. It all comes down to when he and Tommy are driving at the start of the apocalypse and see the other survivors with a broken car. Tommy wants to stop but Joel says keep going, despite the fact that they also have a kid that needs protection. He's always been about his family above all else, and the second he started seeing Ellie as his kid it was all over for anyone else.
Your opinion seems good to me, except that I think you are wrong about something essential in the base;
ELLIE... never... had... the... knowledge... that... they were... going to... kill her.
And I think that what I say is clearly demonstrated by her reaction when she discovers in a conversation that they were going to
kill her without scruples and all in the name of A SUPPOSED CURE.
Do you know that moment?... If so, do you remember Ellie's reaction when she found out?... I think it shows without a doubt that she didn't know anything, and I sincerely think, that IT IS AT THAT PRECISE MOMENT when Ellie Feeling totally alone, something she has always feared, she discovers that it's not just Joel's lies, everyone is abandoning her.
I believe that Ellie could never make that altruistic decision for humanity, because she NEVER KNEW that it would cost her life, if she did make that decision, it was certainly biased to say the least, if not openly manipulated.
You can't take a girl to death with lies, lies will always be more justified when they are to bring her to life.
Joel did what he did selfishly yes, and desperately too... To save her! Which OPENS the future with all its possibilities, even if they are NOT what he wants.
Marlene allows herself to be convinced by the doctor. Why?... For a vaccine that there are no guarantees that she can achieve!?... For a simple commitment!?
Honestly, I am not very clear where the greatest burden of selfishness is. Joel, in the end, is nothing more than a loving and protective false father who came into his life just a few months ago...
Marlene, it is assumed, that she has been his adoptive mother practically since she was born.
Possibly here the adults have not acted more than by impulses or instincts, but never question the actions of someone whose goal, selfish or not, wants to give a life another chance, even if they are wrong!
In life mistakes can be corrected...
Never after death!
All the best!

I never said that Ellie had the knowledge that she was going to die. You should read properly before you put words in my mouth that I never said.
Ellie has an infallible bullshit detector and she knew Joel was lying. It's just like I wrote it. It's one thing to know that someone is lying without knowledge of details to the story, and it's another thing to finally get confirmation with details after years. This is called gaslighting. That's what Joel has been practicing with her over the years. To unsettle a basically convinced person that she doubts herself.
Joel always stood firm with his story. The only reason Ellie went in search of the truth in the first place was because she knew he was lying. Even if she tried to suppress it.
She wasn't surprised that she was supposed to die, but that Joel didn't let her die and lied to her. You can describe this as obvious in your view as you want, it doesn't make it any more true. You obviously didn't pay much attention and see what you wanted to see. That being said, it's a sh..move that you're spoiling here.
I have described everything in sufficient detail without spoilers and you do not refute any of it.
â@@Alex-zo5bh
Joel just acts like the human being he is. He protects himself and his loved ones.
At the moment that he does NOT pick up the family from the damaged car, he does not know what is happening, anyone can be infected, that moment of insecurity and chaos is clearly demonstrated, in the neighbor in the red bathrobe who Joel yells at to hide in house closing the door, and that "altruistically" goes out to help the neighbor who believes that Joel has run over and that costs him his life.
I don't see any selfishness in natural fear, which makes you FIRST protect your loved ones above even others...
I only see a human being and his self-preservation instinct.
We are all brave and we have the solution to last bull, but I assure you that you have no idea how you would react if your eyes saw the trench from the trench.
You can't judge anyone if you've never been in their situation. Try to do a real empathy exercise!... Honestly put yourself in Joel's place... But honestly!...
A grieving man who loses EVERYTHING from minute one of the pandemic. That for twenty years he has surely had to do real atrocities in order to survive.
Look around him!
Every time he meets a human being, he shoots at them, every time he turns a corner someone else beats him up, throws smoke bombs at him, hits him with the butt of the rifle.
Seriously!... Were you going to put humanity before, possibly, the only person you love at that moment?... Honestly!
The most beautiful thing about this story, in my opinion, is that neither the good guys are so good, nor the bad guys so bad, nothing is black or white, everything moves between shades of gray. Joel is not the perfect hero who at all times knows what he has and what he can do, he is just a person who has suffered, unable to overcome the loss of those he loves, with his insecurities, his selfishness, his panic attacks and fear of responsibility when someone begins to care, who sinks before his brother when he sees himself without the strength to fulfill what he has promised, but also someone capable of risking his life desperately facing twenty, thirty armed people, to save how little he really cares about this life, without even considering if he is wrong, if he is selfish. Someone who still wears the broken, useless watch that his daughter gave him twenty years ago just before she died, is someone with much more deeply embedded feelings in his soul than he himself believes, no matter how much he wants to pretend otherwise.
Do you really think Tomy is more dignified for wanting to stop than Joel!?...
The cemeteries are full of Tomys and altruistic neighbors in red bathrobes.
In fact, the evolution of Tomy is very clear throughout the entire story.
Joel is only a human being, something very rarely seen in fictional characters. Too bad it doesn't fit into the false idea we have of perfect and unreal heroes in shining armor.
Another greeting!
It has been a great journey guys. Can't wait for your Arcane reactions now.
Great reaction series. Canât wait for season two. In terms of being an emotional rollercoaster, part 2 makes part 1 feel like Sesame Street lol.
Elmo's uncle dying was quite a dark episode, tbh.
First, You two did such a great job on these Last of Us videos. your two independant reactions made this one of my favorite reactions to the last of us. As hard as it might be to do, go back and watch it again. Listen to the music and watch Joel with what you know now that you finished it. While he is the protaganist of the story he isn't a good guy. He told us this a few times in the show. Again, wonderfully entertaining reaction video!
Ladies you both surpassed yourself's with this series it's been an absolute pleasure thank you for all your exceptional work and effort & look forward to seeing the next adventure you have for us đ take care and sending good vibes and sunshine smiles to both đđ»đșđđ€
Wow, thank you so much for your reaction guys! Because of your emotional response, I could relive again what I felt the first time watching the last of us. I'm a guy but I cry all the time watching emotional scenes. I could see, that you felt the exact thing as I did. I grew up being thought that showing emotions are weak.. but inside I'm so sensitive. I don't know, I just twanted to say thank you that I could cry with you :)
I would have loved to hear your comments and thoughts afterwards about the season as a whole. đ.
What are you ladies going to get into next? You might like Ted Lasso or The Bear.
They are going to watch Arcane next.
Ted Lasso is a MUST
i would love to hear like a discussion section after yalls reactions in the future. i like how yall think.
Joel went from parent to kidnapper and thought Ellie would never notice the dynamic shift
Haylo n Kiss you two just witnessed a 'Hero' becoming a Human!
I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions!
Would you believe it, show runners somehow managed to make this ending even better!
-- Joel attempt on himself.... that conversation doesn't happen in the game!
There are several places where show runners adapted the story & improved it.
Cameos Troy Baker (OG Joel) as James | Ashley Johnson (OG Ellie) as Ellie's Mom Anna Williams.
The sudden Ending is like .... No .. No .. No .. I wana know more ... Dont do this .... I cant wait for second season!!!
You all have become my favorite reaction channel! Love the authenticity and how expressive you are!
I enjoyed watching you two experience this show/story. I almost noped out from the early-season dry heaving (that can often for whatever reason even trigger my own gag reflex) but glad I stayed. Still can't believe how well they pulled this thing off, and the failed suicide attempt was a genius addition by Craig Maizin
As I'm sure others who know game Part 2's story are, I'm a bit... nervous about season 2
"When does the next season come out?"
One thing to think about is that this season covered the first game, and finished the same way as the game did.
There was no talk of a second game for years, so for years this wasn't a cliff hanger, this was the ending.
Spoiler Alert!!!
Hey yâall. I thoroughly enjoyed your reactions to this series. Look forward to much more.
love your vibe and your reactions to the show! really looking forward to arcane
Congrats to the show for receiving 24 Emmy nominations!
Thanks for this fantastic season reaction! You two were every bit as entertaining as the show!
Great reactions, great series, and one of the best adaptations I have seen. You two got both of the points of view most players did in the game. It definitely left me conflicted because you are in control of Joel when he makes his was through the hospital so you are complicit. "We" killed all those fire flies and the doctor, because of how "we" couldn't handle losing another daughter. Joel is kinda the baddie, even though I understand and sympathize with he motives. This episode and last one also show us why Robert was terrified of him way back in episode 1. He is a beast when he gets wound up, even all old and creaky he will murder everyone in his way.
I love the way they wove in the actors from the game.
Merle Dandridge was Marlene. She is the only one who got to play the same character in the game as show. They added some depth to her in this episode that we don't remember getting in the game. Knowing that she knew Ellie literally her whole life and was still willing to sacrifice her for even a chance at a cure was meaningful. In the game it was easy to hate her because of how invested in Ellie and Joel I was but in the show, not so easy. She was doing the "right" thing thing the wrong way.
Ashley Johnson was Ellie in the game and Ellie's mom here. I love how you two called it from her voice, even though I don't think you played the game. That just shows how well Bella Ramsey was able to evoke the performance that Ashley did for Ellie in the game. Ashley Johnson is rad, love her to bits.
Troy Baker was Joel in the games; James', second command to cannibal-pedo David from the last episode. They tried to make Troy ugly but even dirty and emaciated he is too good looking for the apocalypse. I loved how Ellie kills him with that gnarly cleaver to the throat, just a nice juicy death.
Jeffery Pierce was Tommy in the games, but Perry, second in command to Kathleen in the Henry/Sam arc. I have seen him in lots of stuff before but he was really good playing off of Melanie Lynskey. Neither character was in the games but they fit right in and I believed their connection.
As far as cameos go they all got a cool little tidbit but Ashley being Ellie's mom was perfect. I love the line when baby Ellie is crying "You tell 'em".
It's been fun rewatching this show with you guys!
It was fun watching the show with you two. Your reactions are great. đ
Itâs the classic dilemma of the Trolley Problem. What answer is the right answer? Sometimes there is not right answer, just the answer you can live with.
Really great, and complex reaction!đžđżđŒđ±
Ellie was not in the right state of mind to make this decision even if it had been given to her. When Joel shot and missed, he said he couldn't have been more ready. But even this too may pass for Ellie if someone could just buy her some time. Joel's bullet missed. Henry's did not. All Joel was doing is making Ellie's bullet miss.
Time for the part 2 playthrough!
Bill said they are protectors and god help anyone who gets in your way. And thats what we saw, he will never freeze again
Absolutely loved every one of these reactions and am rewatching them againđđ» canât wait for Arcane next ladiesđ»
"She kinda sounds like Ellie" - Kiss 0:52 ... So awesome you picked this up. Thats Ashley Johnson from Critical Role, the Avengers (cameo) and who did the voice of Ellie in the games. I assume Bella Ramsey took notes on Ellies behaviour and vocal mannerisms from the game so she could play a faithful adaptation. She would have studied Ashley Johnson playing Ellie, only to have Ashley Johnson play her characters mother in the show. Its such a beautiful, 'full-circle' moment. Anyway what the hell am i supposed to do now that this is over. I've really liked your reaction to this show. It makes me hopeful for the future of this channel... I'm excited to see what comes next. Take care guys! ;)
Fantastic reaction, truly a gut punch of a season finale. Joel has lied to Ellie, and killed for her, what will be the fallout of his decisions....hmmm guess the waiting game for season 2 is now on.
The Umbilical Chord and Placenta, if they could have been preserved, would have been the key to creating a Vaccine.
Yayyyy you did it! Canât wait for you two to play through the game
Hospital scene is imo top 5 ever recorded for tv... It's truly stunning â€
Quote from Troy baker who played/voiced and motion captured Joel for the games âSo people have asked me, why would Joel do that when he could have saved the world, and my answer to them is always this - he did, he did save the world. It's just that the world was that girl, and that's itâ
Thanks!
Ashley Johnson, is not only the one who put the voice of Ellie in the video game, she is the actress who filmed the motion capture of the character. Ashley totally brought the fourteen year old to life, being an adult actress she did a perfect job.
I find it wonderful that she was given the role of Anna, her mother, in the series, also giving her life at birth.
The world tooks everything for Joel and Joel tooks everything to the world, if you dont notice the first episode is call "when your lost in the darkness" and the final episode calls "Look for the light" its the Firefly frase and is also what Joel went throug.
